Well, according to insiders, each episode will represent a different season over the course of one calendar year. In other words, there will be a fall chapter, a winter chapter, a spring chapter and a summer chapter. (“Winter, spring, summer or fall… all you have to do is call… “)

AS-P and exec producer Daniel Palladino (AKA Team Palladino) will write and direct the entire revival, which will be set in the present day (or roughly eight years after the series ended). Negotiations with the show’s primary cast — Lauren Graham, Alexis Bledel, Kelly Bishop and Scott Patterson — are said to be underway.

Reps for Netflix and Warner Bros. have yet to comment on the approaching Gilmore renaissance.

Family is rerunning the series finale on 11/06 @ 11 AM PST (Seattle area). Family has been running the series for a long time, they are finishing showing the last season while UP is showing the 1st season presently.

Probably true, but can that be the arc of the entire series? They’re bringing it back to tell the story of what happens after his death? It’s possible, but that would be a little depressing. Or they could start with his death and end with a birth. Start in summer with everything alive and beautiful, and Richard dies. Then we move into fall when things are dying and the family is mourning. Winter is cold and isolated. But the spring birth brings them together again. Things are coming back to life. There is a future.
It is a solid arc, but it would be depressing to have the whole thing revolve around his death. I would say that they could be separate storlines, but using the theme of seasons suggests that the movies will work off of each other and tell a bigger story with a bigger theme.

Rory never learned from her parent’s mistakes. That was the problem with the character. As time went along, she picked up more and more negative traits and lost all of the good ones.
But she is already way too old for it to be the same as when Lorelai got pregnant. I would say that maybe her baby’s father dies and she goes home to raise the kid, but I don’t think it’ll happen. With Fuller House, it would be too much of a theme for Netflix shows.

Oooh, which would be a good lead in for Winter, which is often associated with death. And it ties into the theme song ” ♫ . . . winter, spring, summer, or fall . . .♫ ♪” Yeah, Richard’s death actually fits.

This seems like kind of a male reproductive organ move by Palladino and Netflix. They’ve announced a continuation without securing any of the actors. This puts a lot of pressure on the actors to sign, even if its not a good deal for them. They should have waited until the actors have signed on to announce.

Except most of them publicly said they wanted to do a revival at the big reunion a few months ago. Scott Patterson spilled the beans that there were talks underway. All that’s left is contract negotiations. I would be hugely surprised if any of the core walked away from the table and netflix would look really bad if they let them.

I doubt it would be about the money. She makes plenty of that. It would be more about finding the time, reconnecting with former friends and colleagues and giving props to the show that ignited her career. If scheduling doesn’t conflict and she still has good feelings towards the cast/crew she’ll probably do it, though she likely won’t appear in more than a few scenes.

I’d personally be surprised if MMc turned them down flat so I’d expect at the very least a cameo or two… like maybe they’ll say she off somewhere for a year with Jackson and the kids and we’ll see her on the laptop skyping with Loralai. That being said I’d also be surprised if she was properly in all four episodes.

I am excited, but cautious. I don’t trust Amy and Dan. During the last two years at the helm, they kept putting plot twists in that upset many viewers, including me. Trust me, Amy said. You’ll love where we are going, she said.

Right. She left the series in a mess. The person who came in to try to give us a decent last season was hamstrung from the start. I was OK with the last episode. And I’m excited to hear all of the news. But I am trying to level-set my expectations.

That’s exactly how I feel, B. It was like a kick in the teeth to the show’s fans. I know we all want closure — but my confidence in Amy and Dan is extremely low. I hate to sound negative, but they burned us for two seasons.

Amy deserves a lot of the blame, but I also think there was pressure from the WB to bring in some young blood with Rory being in college and I think there was fear that a happy Lorelai and Luke would be boring. Still, there were other interesting avenues that they could have taken. While I don’t have complete trust in them I do think this will end up being at least decent, perhaps on par with the best of season six. Then again, I’m not obsessed with Lorelai and Luke being together forever or Rory getting back with an ex boyfriend. I’m much more intrigued by the state of Lorelai and Emily’s relationship and what Lane and Paris are doing with their lives.

Right there with you : they totally messed up the show before they left. The crew who took over made for the best, and delivered a very goog episode with ” To Whom It May Concern” : a sincere and adult Lorelei.

Yes!! Thank you. Agreed. Amy is the one that ruined the show by giving Luke a secret kid (who is basically Rory) and breaking up him and Lorelai – and then turning Rory into a brat. The final season was trying to get everything back on track.

She was a brat during college. But kids that age are so focused on themselves, ‘who am I’, ‘where am I going’, ‘what do I want’. They’re finding their adult identity, separate from their families. And in a TV show, this behavior is exaggerated. I thought that having Rory, who was pretty much always a people pleaser, to transition to the opposite was a realistic arc.

I completely disagree. If it was anybody else doing the writing and directing, I would’ve been sooo mad! Gilmore Girls would not have been Gilmore Girls without Amy. To do this project with anybody but Amy in charge would’ve been a disaster. I don’t disagree that she intentionally left show in a mess but I understand why she did it and don’t blame her. She was about to lose a show that she poured so much into. It was her baby. I can understand her not wanting the show to continue if she couldn’t be apart of it. Not only do I trust the Palladino’s completely, I wouldn’t trust or support anybody else doing this. The show started with them and it should end with them.

I am wondering if it will start off with Edward’s funeral and Lorelai, who will have been married to Luke, will be pregnant by the end of the first season and will have a son by the end of the last season and they will name their son after both of their fathers.

One more item….. I really hope that Luke’s daughter April is part of the show. I know a lot of people didn’t l ike her being there — but the actress who played her did a great job. And it would be fun to see how she and Luke grew their relationship over the years.

I think it’ll open with the funeral. It’ll set up the rest of the season perfectly for there to be a lot of good Emily/Lorelai story.

Confused at all the people saying Lorelai will be pregnant. She would be about 47 at this point wouldn’t she? It’d make much more sense for her to have a 4-6 year old at this point. And I don’t think Luke and Lorelai would have waited this long to get married, so even an LL wedding would feel fan-servicey and contrived.

LL being married with a young child makes the most sense logically.

A Rory marriage or pregnancy announcement near the end seems much more likely.

I agree with all of this. It’s been so long since the show ended that it wouldn’t make sense for her and Luke to wait so long to get married. They can flash back to it, but we don’t need to see it. Same thing with the kid, if there is one. There’s just no point in it. Why would she be pregnant or need to be pregnant? I don’t think that’d be interesting at all.

Interesting. This must be a very important year in Gilmore-land! I am so unbelievably excited for this!!
Do we know yet if all 4 will be released at once? I assume yes given past Netfix releases. Im gonna need a return date soon so that I can block out an entire day to go totally dark for this. LOL

I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the reasons it’s formatted this way is so they can stagger the release throughout a year. I don’t think we should be getting our hopes up about watching all four episodes in one sitting.

I’m with Chelsea. Most people don’t end up with their first loves or high school sweethearts. I didn’t like Rory with any of them by the end of it. It would be better if she found someone suited for her while she was working or campaigning. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the guys come back if it happened to be appropriate, but I don’t think they should force it and don’t think she should end up with any of them.

I would like to see all of them. It’d be nice to know if Dean got his act together, or if Rory and Logan were able to keep in touch as friends. I assume Jess will be around at some point, as Luke’s nephew. (I’d love to see Liz/TJ/Tallulah!)

I really hope she is engaged toher last boyfriend or Jess. They havebto deal with the loss of Richard. I hope Luke and Loreli is married. Bring April(SwitchedatBirth)back. Lane and the kiddos,Ms.Patty,Babette, Taylor and The weird one too. I wish Sookie and Michelle would drop in. Sookie is too busy now…

Well since Winter is actually the Gilmore Girls favorite season I think they may end it with that season. They’ll probably want to do a scene where Lorelei smells snow with anticipation. Winter is when all good things happen well except for that one time snow and Lorelei weren’t on speaking terms.

The Gilmore Girls theme song makes no mention of or reference to the seasons. I’ve seen this stated several places and I don’t understand where it’s coming from. The theme song is “Where You Lead” by Carole King. While the four season concept is cool, and definitely on theme with the show itself, there is no season tie-in to the theme song at all.

I hope that Luke & Loralei are already married, but they flash back to the wedding so we can see a little of it. Hopefully they are raising their twins that she dreamed about at the beginning of season 3. I hope that all the major & minor characters come back at some point during the revival. They could figure out something so that Melissa McCarthy doesn’t have to appear in all 4 films. I think it’s important that they address Richard’s death. And they have to finish Emily and Loralei’s story. Their relationship was so important to the show. Maybe they could have Rory come back from working as journalist and travelling the world and she decides she wants to now live in Stars Hollow.

Gilmore girls has been my go to show since I was 7 and along with my older sister! We’ve watched it over god knows how many times, but I hope it ends up how I’ve pictured it ending all these years! I think it should start with somewhere around the lines of Richard dying and then after he’s passed loralie Rory and Emily really develop a good bond that lasts forever!! But we still have Rory’s and loralies love life! I hope and pray Rory and Jess end up together they are really a match made in heaven and Luke and loralie are perfect for each other!! I would cry if Jess and Rory don’t spark into flames, really this time! And Luke and loralie I’ve been waiting forever for them to just get married! But we both still will love this show forever no matter how it’s ends up I just really hope Rory and Jess get together!!!! Well we love y’all Gilmore girls cast… Forever and always!!

we need to look at the time span between the last episode and these next 4 episodes 8 years
Luke and Lorelai will already be married as much as the fans and I would love to see a wedding with the time span we can assume they are already married. If Amy wants to have her with kids they must be about 7-8 years old because she will now be around 47 years old and come on she wont be pregnant look at the time span. Also Richards funeral is what every one is hoping for we will not know unless its announced they could show it or they could have him be away on business, I hope they mention his death but don’t make an entire big deal about it there are only 4 90 min episodes. Everyone keeps saying they want April back but its not necessary we can assume she is living with the mom. I hope theses 4 90 mins are to clarify major story lies that were left unanswered for the beloved fans if there was an entire extra season then of course bring her back bring lanes band back paris doyal dean linsey sokie jaxon jess mrs patty babet kirk taylor jason tj liz Logan mrs kim everyone but sadly remember everyone its 4 90 mins we have to choose what story lines were the major ones that we need and must have back As for melissa mccarthy hopefully she will sign and be apart of at least one of theses epsoides this is where she started off yes she is a big big actor now and very busy so we will have to just wait and see on that one. If everyone was like me and devastated when amy sherman palladino left from writing the show just rejoice she’s getting justice and ending the show properly and trust all our questions will be answers will be well executed, and if your on the opposite side of this and was happy she didn’t end the series well just don’t watch theses 4 90 mins then……..Just keep an open mind we don’t know what to expect

Has a release date been mentioned anywhere? I am so excited about this! I just finished watching all 7 seasons again over a course of a few months and loved it all over again! I can’t wait to have this happen! Hope it’s real

I hope they’re not just on netflix, because netfix isn’t available in Oman where I am – p.s. Netflix if you’re reading this when will you make your service available over here?! So unfair I got hooked on this in the UK and come out here and there’s NOTHING!!!
